Movie Kids Skipping Huge Breakfast To Catch The Bus

Kids in movies will see this on the table, take a sip of orange juice, and say "i'm late for the bus!"

This is a relatable comedy meme calling out a common unrealistic trope in family and children's films. The top of the image features a caption stating that kid characters in movies will see the massive, elaborate breakfast spread shown below, only take a single sip of orange juice, then immediately announce they are late for the school bus and leave, abandoning an entire large, well-prepared home-cooked meal. The lower section of the image displays an extremely abundant breakfast spread including multiple large jugs of orange juice, stacks of waffles, multiple plates of scrambled eggs, fried dishes, a large fruit salad, assorted breakfast meats, pastries, and syrup, which emphasizes how absurd and wasteful this common movie character choice is.

This meme originates from the r/me_irl community on Reddit, as explicitly noted in the header text at the top of the image.
